Setting PreferredBackBufferHeight doesn't work with Monogame on Linux

[3vi1]

Using this DLLwith a bare-bones Monogame project, I find that it does fix the problem Monogame has with setting the PreferredBackBuffer_Width_. This doesn't work with the stock OpenTK.dll, but does work when you replace it with the SDL2 OpenTK DLL.

However, seting the PreferredBackBuffer_Height_.still has no effect.

Wow: I didn't think anyone was still using this! I'm now focusing work on monogame-sdl2 (https://github.com/flibitijibibo/MonoGame ) and SDL2# (https://github.com/flibitijibibo/SDL2-CS ), which are much more complete and have had several games shipped (including FEZ from the current Humble Bundle).

If you still want to use opentk-sdl2, I have a couple of ideas as to what the problem might be.

Have you applied the modeswitching patch from https://bugzilla.libsdl.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1742 to the version of SDL2 you're using? opentk-sdl2 currently requires this (see https://github.com/sulix/opentk-sdl2/blob/master/Source/OpenTK/Platform/SDL2/SDL2GLNative.cs#L284), but it can be worked around. The older code (which didn't require the patch) was changed in 1501182

I think that's probably the issue, but — just to confirm — are you using the accompanying monogame branch https://github.com/sulix/MonoGame/tree/opentk-sdl2 ?

That's eventually where I ended up too, as it sets the width/height fine. Thank you for responding, though!
